Preview
Minnesota Timberwolves will be meeting Memphis Grizzlies on Friday in Minnesota, This will be the sixth game in the first round in this matchup as the the Grizzlies took the lead at home in the last game winning 111-109 in the last seconds by Morant to give the Grizzlies 3-2 lead coming to this game.
Minnesota Timberwolves had a 11 point lead going to the 4th Quarter in the last game in Memphis but they couldn't stop Memphis from coming back to this game as the same thing happened in game 3 after the Grizzlies win the 4th Quarter by 25 points and won the game after trailing by 16 points going into the last quarter. Minnesota Timberwolves shot 38% from the field and 34% from the 3 pointers in last game. Towns went into a foul trouble early again in this game and that's why he has only 8 points and no effect on the game at all.
Memphis Grizzlies almost lost that last game vs the Timberwolves but Ja Morant came clutch in the end to give them the lead and then had the winning shot after Minnesota tied it with seconds left on the clock. Ja Morant was One Assist shy from having a triple double as he scored 30 points, 13 rebounds and 9 Assists in that game. B.Clarke had a really good game off the bench for the Grizzlies as he scored 21 points and 15 Rebounds double double. Memphis will be missing Steven Adams and Killian Tillie in this game.

The O/U is also 5-5 as Memphis are averaging 116.3 and Minnesota are averaging 116.7 points a game.

Prediction
Last game was going to Overtime untill Ja Morant scored a bucket in the last second to take the lead in this series for the Grizzlies after he played such a great game and scoring 30 points. No lead is safe with the Timberwolves in a game as they let the Grizzlies come back from double digits wolves lead almost every game and the Grizzlies are obviously the better team and I like them to close this series tonight with a huge win in Minnesota so give me Morant and the Grizzlies to win this game.
Pick: Memphis Grizzlies ML (-120)
